For the umpteenth time, that's a misquote. What he actually said was 'vigilance about the risk of terrorism is part and parcel of living in a great city, and we must support the police in any way we can'. The misquote originated in the British Tory press (who hate Khan for political reasons rather than because he's a Muslim), and has been repeated unquestioningly so many times that he's permanently saddled with it.

I never heard that before.
Correction noted.

Winniesboy, your quote is correct, but permit me to disagree with your interpretation. Vigilance about the risk of terrorism should not have to be part and parcel of everyday living anywhere, any more than terrorism itself (and we all know who is responsible for 99% of that terrorism in 2018).
And, by-the-by, Khan's religion defines what he is and his politics as much as anything else.
Forgive me, but Vigilance about the risk of terrorism is a sore point - I witnessed IRA bombings in London in the 80's/90's that killed children.
